    That's what he's saying... He's saying that with hardware, yes you get what you pay for, but with software, that's generally NOT the case.

  4. Unconstitutional on it's face on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 5, Informative

    If it applies only to big business (RIAA, MPAA, BSA), and not to joe sixpack, it's unconstitutional under the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

    Servers running Internet Information Services from Microsoft were propagating this worm across the Internet faster than anything has up to then or since

    Nope. Bring back Keaton. Keaton has the "just-this-side-of-psycho" eyes that the Dark Knight needs. Alternatively, if they want an older Batman (ala Miller), then do what someone else suggested and bring in Clint Eastwood. He also has the "repressed psycho" thing down.

    None of which excuses the actions of the renters. They're just pissed they got caught.

    No, as I understand it, they were aware of what they were doing, they were pissed that the $1/mi surcharge applied to the WHOLE trip, not the out-of-area mileage. THAT's what the suit is about.

  17. Re:Why not be positive about this? on Russia Wants to Launch Manned Mission to Mars · · Score: 2

    The famous "write with pencils in zero G" thing is a good example (we spent millions coming up with pens which could write in a microgravity environment).

    That's an urban legend.

    Sorry, but in CA, pedestrians always have the right-of-way, even if they're jaywalking. Of course, they can get ticketed for that, but if you see them, you have to try to miss them.
